Hmm, maybe this isn't such a great plan after all.
I played around with the TAP Rotary speaker plugin, and, uh, I guess the nicest thing I
can say about it is: it sounds nothing like a Leslie.
Likewise, the CAPS Cabinet emulators are excellent for simulating guitar amps, but the
unique "woody" tone of a Leslie just isn't among its emulated amp types. And
Hammond/Leslie distortion has somewhat different characteristics than guitar amp
distortion, IIRC.
So, nevermind.
I think I'll leave the Hammond B3 sounds for those rich people with deep pockets,
Windoze, VSTi, or GigaSample DVD's.
Who was it who said, "Make your limitations into your style"? That is deep
wisdom, indeed.

I've gotta wonder if it might be more
productive to just hack up a no-frills tonewheel emulator in ChucK. I'm not sure
I'd need to go to the level of detail in modelling that he's gone to (i.e.
including the leakage from terminal strips), nor extra things like distortion, reverb, or
Leslie simulation since those are available through LADSPA.
